⚜️Rebirth of Iron Hideout Competition #12 | 3000$ Prizes to Everyone | Theme: Death | Revolutionized⚜️

Welcome back to Iron Hideout Competition #12! In my humble subjective opinion, I was put on probation unrightfully. They wanted to intervene in how I make Iron Hideout Competitions and this wasn't the first time. There is a time for everything, including unveiling.

We decided to extend the competition by 1 more month because I'm pretty sure this halt stopped many architects from building and submitting since my probation period took 2/3 of the competition time. I can tell this clearly from my past competition experiences and looking at the total number of submissions. Another reason for this extension is Iron Hideout Competitions hit the league start for the first time ever. We know that some of the architects will both want to play and build, and we didn't want to limit anyone from enjoying the Affliction League! Because of the extension, works already submitted are allowed to be updated as well! I actually wanted to extend the competition before it ended, but we weren't allowed to make an update here until the end of my probation period, which was scheduled to be 1 day after the competition's end date. I am very sorry for the unexpected extension and not being able to make an update before the competition's end date. As a sorry, the prize pool has increased from 2100$ to 3000$, both for winners and voters! I see that the submissions kept on coming even though my account was on probation, and I spent my 2 weeks replying to many supportive messages! Thank you, with all my heart... As while dealing with multiple things at once, you need a source of energy...💞🙏

Here's the updated competition schedule:
► Submissions until: 5th January, 11:50pm GMT
► Voting time: 6th January - 21st January
► Results announcement: 25th January 05:00pm GMT

As always, I wish everyone the best of luck!🪽

I have to say I am blown away by all the entries!🔥 It was such a joy and so much fun to do videos for the competition after almost 2 years!🥹 If anyone makes an update to their submissions due to the extension, they will be recorded again in Wave 2 Video.

The recap of Subtractem's stream of the previous Iron Hideout Competition #11 will be made and uploaded soon!🪽

Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my promise of posting the competition videos to /r/pathofexile subreddit as I have once again been unrightfully banned by the same smear campaign, this time by the mentioned subreddit. The only thing I did was posting the Wave 1 Video there. But they made unbelievable accusations towards me without having any proof, only words. All of these will be responded to with a YouTube video containing the long-awaited document and much more to let the whole Path of Exile community learn the truth, sometime after this competition ends.⚖️ The truth about how PegasusRideR tried to support this community since June 2018, and how it hasn't changed even a single bit. For now, I want to let you all know that PegasusRideR and his efforts are trying to be erased along with Iron Hideout, the school of the hideout community...😠

But, thankfully, Iron Hideout doesn't need the mentioned subreddit anymore. As a sorry on their behalf, we have just increased the strength of our Wave 1 Video's YouTube AD to make it soon hit an extremely high amount of views, all watched by people looking for Path of Exile content! Do not worry exiles, PegasusRideR will not let anyone harm your efforts!⛔ Just keep creating and submitting, and have no fear!💪

By three thy way opens...
